408 stroker build

was the carb a DP or vac sec? Just an old 750 type or the newer ones with adjustable throttle plates, etc like Quick Fuel, BG, etc ?

My 416 has a step down cam from yours (comp 274-solid). I have a BG Silver Claw DP. And we have to play the throttle plate stops and other stuff to tune it. I’ve got a tight converter and it will get an off idle stumble it not tuned right.

I have a Holly Ultra DP, that has been drilled out, brass added to it and tuned.

With the 4 speed the 285 is too high in duration and chatters the valves if the RPMs are under 3k and ya get on it. Above 3k to 7k it screams.... good for the strip, but bad for the auto cross...
